The Modelling and Analysis of Security Protocols: the CSP approach.
Addison Wesley. 2001
This book provides a thorough and detailed understanding of one of the most effective approaches to the design and evaluation of security critical systems, describing the role of security protocols in distributed secure systems and the vulnerabilities to which they are prey.
The authors introduce security protocols, the role they play and the cryptographic mechanisms they employ, and progress to detail their role in security architectures, e-commerce, e-cash and so on. Precise characterizations of key concepts in information security, such as confidentiality, authentication and integrity are discussed and a range of tools and techniques are described which will ensure that a protocol guarantees certain security services under appropriate assumptions.
